O'Connor, in the year 1799, haring been obliged to leave Ireland and confide the management of his property to some other person, for his use, executed a power of attorney to his brother, Roger O'Connor, now deceased, bearing date the Gth of August, 1802, whereby he gave him complete dominion over his estates, and under which he entered into receipt of the rents thereof and executed leases and made dispositions thereof as he thought fit, and converted same to his own use. Roger O'Connor, under this power of attorney, on the 9th of November, 1803, sold certain estates belonging to the plaintiff to Thomas and John Cuthb •rt, for 3,1501, and executed conveyances thereof, and received the purchase money, which he converted to his own use. At the time plaintiff was obliged to leave Ireland Roger O'Connor was in debted to him in a sum of 1,500/. (which was secured by a bond bear ing date the 21st of January, 1796), together with a large arrear of in. terest thereon, and R. O'Connor obtained possession of that bond with other papers, belonging to the plaintiff. The plaintiff, on the Ist of December, 1806, removed Roger O'Connor from the agency and management of his property in consequence of his refusing to give an account of the sums received by him or to send him remittances, and on the 233 of January, 1808, filed a bill against him, by which he prayed that Roger O'Connor should account with him, and pay over any sum that should be found to be due to him. The defendant answered the bill, and after various proceed. ings a decree was obtained therein referring it to the officer to inquire and report what sum was due to the plaintiff. The Chief Remembrancer made his report in pursuance of the decree, and found that a sum of 9,866/. 6s. 4(1. was due to the plaintiff The hill further charged that Roger O'Connor sold another part of' plain. tiff's property to Alexander Deane, of the city of Cork, for a sum of 486/. 19s. 6d., which sum he likewise appropriated to his own use; it also stated that he conveyed unto his daughter Wilhelmina O'Connor the lands of Cumberville, and other lands, and that he did so for the purpose of defeating., plaintiff's claims. The bill prayed that an account might be taken of the sum due to plaintiff on foot of his claims, and that the defendants might he directed to pay same. The depositions ta:ven on the part of the plaintiff were read in cor. roboration of the charges in the bill. The defendant's counsel will be heard in reply, and judgment given earl next week. THEATRES. ST. JAMES'S. Last night an unusual entertainment took place at this theatre, com bining an instrumental concert, with a portion of its usual dramatic bill of fare. The farmer is called a Concert ala Musard, after the ex ample of Musard in Paris. It would seem from the bills that Sig. Pilati, who conducts these musical performances, has some share in the specu. lation, as they (the bills) commence in this benignant style, " M. Pilati, consulting the gratification of the public," &c. "ever anxious," like Day and Martin, "has the pleasure to announce, &c." However this may be, the idea is excellent, as the combined entertainment is infinitely more attractive than the accustomed quartet of vaudeville and burletta, which forms the staple of St. James's. The pit is boarded over for the novelty, both to enable all persons from the dress circle, who please, to promenade through the whole area unoccupied by the musicians, and to accommodate the latter, who to the amount of 50 (SO being announced) take up their station in the centre of the pit. The stage is fitted up with scenery of a gorgeous Egyptian hall, in the centre of which refreshments are laid out for all who wish to purchase them. The concert on this occasion was very good indeed. The performances were all greatly applauded, and the quadrille " Les Echos" was twice enchored—its peculiarity being that pretty obligato passages in it for dinrent instruments were echoed by invisible performers in different parts of the house. The attendance was full, and there were many promenaders, amongst•whom were several ladies of respectability. PUBLICATIONS. T HE QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. CXXI., Will be published NEXT WEEK. CONTENTS: J.

Several horses were backed for this race without causing any material alterations. The Nonplus colt and Grey 'Mortals were backed rather freely, and left off better favourites than when we last quoted the prices. Several offers were made to back Cobweb, who, at two points less than were offered on Thursday, is quite as good a favourite as D'Egville. lon and The Early Bird were backed at the prices stated last week.

IRELAND. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, SATURDAY, JAN. 20. COMBINATION MEETING,--.A most important and respectable meeting of the citizens of Dublin, convened by public requisition, took place this day at the Royal Exchange, for the purpose of taking into consi deration the best means of putting an end to the system of combination among the Trades, which is alleged to have led to such frightful as saults and outrages in the city and vicinity. At a late stage in the proceedings, upon an individual expressing a wish to move an amendment that the question of apprenticeship should be left between the masters and men, Mi. O'CONNELL, said such amendment would be illegal. The LORD MAYOR put the question, on which a scene of great con. fusion followed : and loud cries of " Yes," and "No." Several of the tradesmen leaped upon the table and insisted upon being heard. Mr. O'CONNELL then moved an adjournment. The LORD MAYOR said that he would adjourn the meeting till some future occasion, when public opinion would be fairly ascertained. A scene of frightful confusion ensued, during which some of the low Or ngemen and others of the trades made a rush at Mr. O'Connell, whr, nowever, was immediately surrounded by most of the gentlemen Present, and conducted safely out of the room amid shouts and execra ti ns from the intemperate mob. When Mr. O'Connell got into his 40ach, he drove away amid the loud cheers of all the respectable men of "erY pasty present. THE MEETING ON THE CURRAGIL—The snow has been SD heavy and ristant here during Thursday and part of Friday, that the country is vwered with it nearly a foct deep. It is thought that in consequence of the severity of the weather the great meeting on the Curragli of Kil dare will be postponed, if not entirely given up. The important case of )lalone v O'Connor, which excited so much attention latterly, involving property to the amount of 13,0001. a_year, Fill be again brought before the Court of Chancery in a few days It *as the last decision in this case which gave a young man in the situa. tio n of a clerk the large property at issue. His claim is, however, about 10 undergo another strict investigation. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—The following strange case between Arthur O'Conner the leader of the insurgents in 1798, and Feargus O'Co nnor, the leader of the ultra.RaCicals hi 1837, was heard in the Court of Ex chequer on Thursday : Arthur O'Connor, late of Fort Arthur, in the county of Cork, Vs+, P. Feargus O'Connor, and others, the children of Roger O'Connor, for. Merly of Dungan Castle, in the county of Meath. Mr. Pennefather, Q.C., stated the plaintiff's ease, The orginal bill ht this cause was filed on the 28th of April, 1834, against Feargus O'Connor and several others, and stated that the plaintiff, Atthur PRICES ur tiOPS.—Jan. ?.2.

Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY fcontinued from our First Editi on o yesterday, ) It was the duty of a wise statesman to keep pace with public opinion, and to take every opportunity of ascertaining the state of public opinion.—( Hear.) And it was a wise and statesmanlike course of Lord John Russell to give the peopie an invitation to instruct Parliament, and to express their sentiments on those questions.—( Hear, and cheers. ) The effect of the Duke of Wellington's declaration against Reform was to put the people on their mettle. —( Cheers. ) They did mistrust their representatives, and their voice pealed within the walls of Parliament—( Cheurs)—and it might be said that the Reform Bill was passed from the moment of that declaration. The sun was at that moment shining upon hint (Sir S. W.) and he hailed it as a good omen. —( Cheers and laughter.) He trusted that they would hereafter be able to date the carrying of the Ballot from the moment when Lord J. Russell declared that he would not be instrumental in carrying it. —( Cheers.) He ( Sir S. W.) differed from some of his friends as to what Lord John Russell said respecting the finality of the Reform Bill. The Noble Lord said it was absurd to speak of the finality of the measure as regarded the people of England. The finality was personal to himself ( Lord J. R.) But the Nob e Lord said that the people of England might select ' what persons they thought fit to carry into effect any further reforms of that Bill.—( Hear, hear.) [A person in the crowd here asked, " Do you think Lord J. Russell any Reformer of the Reform Bill ?") Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY—Undoubtedly Lord John Russell might change his mind if he pleased—(" Hear," and a laugh.) The Noble Lord merely said that he was bound not to alter the Bill, but that the people of England were not bound. Small as was the majority last Session for the Church-rate Abolition, itiwould be probably:less this Session ; and still less, if the present Parliament lasted three years ; and still less, at the end of seven years.—( Hear, hear.) And this brought him to the third of the great measures—shortenin the dura tion cf Parliaments. He ( Sir S. W.) advised the electors to demand this measure.—(Hear, hear.) It was no answer at all to that demand to say that for some time past Parliaments had been summoned on an average every alternate year.—( Hear, hear.) The very doubt of the dura tion of Parliament was as prejudicial to the liberties of the people as its long duration.—( Hear, hear.) And many a time this doubt had influenced the majority in the House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.) Parliament ought to be released from the influence of that doubt, and ought to be responsible, at short but fixed intervals, to their constituents alone.— ( Cheers.) He would be ready to join his:Hon. Colleague ( Mr. Hall) in advocating these measures in the House of Commons. The great argument of Lord John Russell against the grant ing of the Ballot was, that it would not be accepted without an extension of the Suffrage. He ( Sir S. W.) however would advise the electors to get as much as they could, believing that by taking ten shillings in the pound they would not lessen the prospect of obtaining the whole debt.—( Hear, hear.) A voice in the crowd—" Before the question is put, I wish to move an amendment."—(Confusion.) CHAIRMAN—" Are you a rate-payer?" " I am." " Then come forward, Sir." The individual addressed here presented himself to the meet ing, and having announced his name to be Jordan, proceeded to address the meeting amidst great confusion. He said that he was not going to advocate the adoption of the Ballot under the present system, but he wished to know where the line of demarcation was to be drawn.—( Continued uproar.) What use was the Ballot to a man who did not possess the Suffrage? The CHAU:MAN here said—The gentleman is proceed ing in a line of argument which is quite distinct from the object of the resolution. His arguments will be appro priate when we come to discuss the extension of the suffrage. ( Loud cries of "Go on, Jordan, go on.") I wish it to be dis tinctly understood (said Dr. H.) that I am not opposed to the extension of the Suffrage, but at present the amendment of Mr. Jordan is quite irregular. Mr. JORDAN—I only wish fair play, and if I have an opportunity of subsequently moving my amendment, I will withdraw it for the present.—( Loud cries of " Go on , go on") A gentleman who stated that his name was LLOYD, said ha wished to address the meeting on the subject of the Ballot, and hoped that he would be heard. Silence having been in some measure restored, Mr. LLOYD, who spoke from the body of the meeting proceeded to say, that although he was an advocate for the extension of the Suffrage and the shortening of Parliaments, he was opposed to the Ballot.—(Great confusion and cries of " Go on, Jordan.") CHAIRMAN—" I hope, Gentlemen, that you will give every man a fair hearing--you had better come forward, Sir." Mr. Lloyd then got upon the hustings, when the greatest uproar took place, and several persons were turned from the hustings who were the principals in raising the disturbance. . . MC CHAIRMAN, amid the greatest uproar, put the resolu tion, when he was met with cries of " No, no," " We won't have it," " Let us have dr. Jordan's amendment.' "We have a right to hear what it is." The CIIAIKMAN said, if order was not restored, and he was not supported in the chair, he should quit it, and the meeting must elect another Chairman. ( Here the greatest confusion prevailed, which was increased by the appearance of Mr. Young to address the meeting.) Mr. JORDAN insisted that he bad a right to put his amend. ment. Mr. JORDAN then moved his amendment, which was to the effect,—" That in the opinion of this meeting the condition of the present House of Commons requires great alterations, and they, therefore, resolve to petition the Legislature for Univer sal Suffrage, and the protection of the Ballot, equalization of constituencies, and a shortening of the duration of Parliaments." Great confusion. ) The CHAIRMAN trusted the meeting would allow the proceedings of the day to be conducted in an orderly manner. If the meeting would allow him to regulate the proceedings as Chairman, the gentleman who had proposed the amendment should be heard patiently. If they would not allow him to regulate the debate, they must fix on another Chairman.--( Hear and great uproar. )_ _ _ Mr. YOUNG then came forward, and after some delay suc ceeded in obtaining a hearing. He moved the second reso lution, which was as follows —" That to carry out the true spirit and efficiency of the Reform Bill, by an adequate re presentation of the people in the' Commons' House of Par liament, this meeting is of opinion that every householder in the United Kingdom should possess the elective franchise without reference to payment of rates or taxi s." It was obvious ( Mr. Y. remarked) that the amendment of Mr. Jordan would be more properly submitted after the resolution than at any other time. The weight of the present meeting would rest on the regularity of its proceedings, and he trusted that the Chairman, in his efforts to preserve older, would not be de serted by the men of Marylebone.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) He, for one, had no wish to silence the opinions of any man— he stood there to move a resolution in favour of Household Suf frage ; and he thought the amendment of Mr. Jordan, in favour of Universal Suffrage, came as a very legitimate and proper amendment upon that resolution. He begged now to call their attention to some of the observations that had been made there to-day, and he regretted that a reso lution of so much importance had been confided to his hands, or that it had. not — been entrusted to some of the eloquent speakers who had preceded him. He felt bound to state, that he concurred in the observations that had fallen from Mr Hume, and also in the remarks of Mr. Hall—that neither of them regretted the declarativ of Lord John Russell, and that that Noble Lord stood higher as a man of honour for having made that declaration. He con demned him as a politician in the same proportion that he ap plauded him as an honourable man. He believed the present meeting would not have taken place had it not been for that declaration. They should remember that that declaration was not made in the heat of the moment. For Charles Buller recommended Lord John Russell to " be well off with the old love before he was on with the new." The Noble Lord had again stated that he had weighed those mattes long, and that they could not bo conceded without upsetting the Constitu tion.—(Groans and hisses.) He knew not how they could pass these resolutions and shrink from the conclusion, that they were passing a vote of censure on the Ministers. It was with that view that he proposed the present resolution.,. When the question of the Ballot was brought f orw ard by itself two years ago, Lord John Russell said that he could not con sent to have a revolution every year; so that ashen he objected to the three objects of this meeting as organic changes, that opinion was not come to without deliberation. That meeting was therefore to determine whether the great bo rough of Marylebone should not withdraw its confidence from the present Ministry. That seemed to be the view of their representatives and of Mr. Hume ; they thought with hint that it was impossible for the friends of those three measures not to condemn Lord John Russell for his declaration.—( Hear. ) He ( Mr. Y.) charged the present Ministers with inconsistency —they were now opposing the measures which they supported when they were out of office. Lord J. Russell and Sir J. Hob house when they were in the opposition voted for the Ballot — (Groans)—and it was only by his advocacy of the Ballot that Mr. P. Thomson obtained his seat for Manchester.— ( Renewed cheers and groans.) But now when they found that a Conservative tone would obtain them the support of the Tory side, they assumed that tone, and threw away the sup port and confidence of the people.—( Hear, hear, and hisses. ) In 1703 the petition of the " Friends of the People" was pre sented by Lord Grey, then Mr. Grey, and supported by him. It deprecated the existing Constitution as too limited. No de finit.o extension of the Suffrage was dernaded in that petition, but only Jrf gnerai terniS sttoh an extension as would give a 1 . 44 represpntatioß gf the pcflple : Wit the poi t!opiel . s prayed for the repeal of the Septennifil Act, tIT proteetion of the voter.—( Hear, hear.) When the Whigs Caine into office they did certainly redeem some of their pledges, but the ques tion is did they redeem their pl e d ge respect i ng R e f orm o f ';'When t4e 4eforrp Act passed a much greater extension of the suiVag`e was expected than bad !,e0 4 ranted: Hear, hear.)

The house was well attended, and The Black Domino met with a reception which altogether justifies us in prognosti cating for it a long and prosperous career. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HUNGERFORD MARKET. More business doing to.day than for some time past, owing to the thaw. Prices of all descriptions of articles remain much the same as we quoted them on Saturday. TALLOW MARKET.

It is yet too early for the change in the weather to produce any de. tided improvements in these markets. The sales advertised for to-day are Sugar, Coffee, and Saltpetre, but with the exception of the last commodity and of the Mauritius Sugar, they are very trifling. There is not much disposition in the market yet to purchase and prices are stationary, but, where they alter, the tendency seems to be to de cline, but not a positive fall. The holders will rather buy in, than give way to any extent; and the consequence is, that but little busi. ness was done when we left the Market. British Plantation Sugar was selling slowly at last Friday's prices, which were Is. lower, say from 595. for brown to 635. 6d. for yellow law to good, and 645. 6d. to 655. tid. for fine. Refined Sugar is unaltered. Mauritius 545. to 58s. for brwon, and 595. to 665. for low to fine yel low. Easier prices were expected. Bengal is quoted at from 50s. to 645. for brown and yellow, and 655. to 675. for white. Coffee remains just as it was. There was only one sale to.day, and that merely 56 bags of Brazil. Rice privately is in demand for export, and prices looking up rather than otherwise. Rum, Cotton, and Spices, are firm but unaltered There is nothing stirring in Canadian produce. The slate of the Colonial markets now is this--that large sales can not be effected of the primary commodities without giving way in price ; and the holders would sooner buy in than submit to this. Saltpetre was quoted at 235. to 265. 6d. according to quality. The Imports of produce are still very small. INDIGO SALES, SIXTH DAY. If the holders would sell at last sale prices, they might sell much more tha❑ they do. They will have an advance on last sale prices. The sale to-day is much of yesterday's character, in which the inferior sorts were rather easier. The proportion of what is sold to what is put up is small. It is expected that the sale will finish on Thursday. WOOL SALES. Wool is about the only commodity now that is brisk, and that com mands a decided and considerable advance In price, which continues to be about 4d. per lb. higher on the average than the prices of last sale. There are some large sales, chiefly colonial, to come on again this eveiiing. BILLINGSGATE MARKET. Fish in quantity, quality, price, and demand, was much the same to day, as we reported yesterday.

From a useful little work published by the Working Men's Associetion, with whom Mr. Jorden was connected, it appeared that nine borough, with a popula tion of 2,411, among thenl were Harwich, Thetford, Chip penham, Totnes, Knaresborough, &c. returned twenty Mem bers to Parliament ; while ten other boroughs, including the metropolitan districts, Liverpool, and Bristol, with a popula tion of 86,072, returned an equal number of representatives. .',lr. Jordan and his friends did not think household tuffrage went Gar enough. With respect to the definition Of the term h Univer sal Suffrage," it had been accurately stated by Sir S. Whalley, hat although they advocated affirmatively the adoption of Household Suffrage, it was not a negative consequence that hey were opposed at a future time to the further exten sion of Hear, hear. ) By the term Household Suf fraae, they meant the extension of the franchise to every one who had an interest and fixed place of residence in a parish, and who, by residence on the spot, is nec essar il y acquainted with the merits of the candidates who are proposed to him for selection, but they were not prepared to include eithin the meaning of the term that large class who were per. petually moving, and had no local habitation in the country.— ( Hear, hear.) It had been suggested by a Noble Loid who enjoyed the confidence of the country, Lord Brougham— ( Cheers)—that an education test would be a proper sub stitute for what was called Universal Suffrage. lie was inclined to agree with the Noble Lord in opinion, provided the person so qualified had a fixed residence, which in his opinion was indispen sable. He hoped, however, the question of Universal Suffrage would not be pressed at present, as it would only have the 'ffcct of creating disunion amongst Reformers.—( Hear. ) With these few observations he would conclude by proposing the resolution. Mr. SODEN seconded the resolution. He was sure that the meeting, would he convinced the enfranchising clauses of the Reform Bill ought to be altered. Was it right that the people should be disfranchised, when the parochial authorities had the power to take their beds from under them without their consent, for the very taxes which ought to give them representation ? He seconded the resolution because he was convinced if it was carried the best result would ensue.—( Cheers.) In his opinion the obtaining Household Suffrage was one step on the road to obtaining Universal Suffrage._( Cheers. ) Mr. JORDAN then came forward to propose his amendment ; on the principle that short reckonings made long friends he .vas for Universal Suffrage. Mr. Jordan then put his amendment. Mr. VINCENT rose to second the amendment. He was op posed to Household Suffrage, because it was not a principle which could be defended by either reason or argument. He was the advocate for Universal Suffrage, because he was sick of the plea of expediency, continually put before the people. He had come forward on the present occasion to grapple with the question of Household Suffrage, to meet what he con ceived the timidity of some men, and the non-acquaintance with principle on the part of others, and to demonstrate that there was no great principle on which they ought to corn t,ine, but that which should give to every man ill the country those just and legitimate rights to which he was entitled by the laws which he was called on to pay. They have asked to combine for Household Suffrage—why should they do this? tie supposed it would be said they would get Household Suf frage sooner than they would get Universal Suffrage, and that the people were not yet sufficiently intelligent. But were they more likely to get Household Suffrage than Universal Suffrage? —(No, no.) He said emphatically, ." No." They might go on saying yes and no for ever, but let them come at once to the argument. They had powerful opponents to any change in the Constitution of the country—they had the monied inte terests in the House of Commons, who were most deterrni irately opposed to it. Even the men who had led on the people in the cause of Reform, deserted them when that had been attained, because reform had gone far enough for them. These men passed the Irish Coercion Bill—the infamous Bas. tile system._.( Cries of " question," and much interruption.) The CHAIRMAN hoped the speaker would confine himself to the business of the day. Mr. VINCENT resumed—He contended that he was confining himself as closely as possible to the business of the day, and he wished to show them, that if they were anxious to bring about any change in the Constitution, they must unite and combine for a definite purpose, which could not be shaken by any argument. He presumed he was not out of order when he alluded to Lord John Russell, that great champion of Reform, who it was clear would as strenuously oppose any proposition for Household Suffrage ss he would that for Universal Suffrage.—(Hear, hear.) Lord John was opposed to an extension of the Suffrage —so was Sir Robert Peel—so was every dishonest man in the Mouse.—( Cheers and laughter.) Universal Suffrage would meet with no more opposition than Household Suffrage, with the difference that the latter would not have the support of the great body of the people. He had been a missionary amongst the working classes in the North and West, and he could as sure the Meeting that the people could not be moved unless the standard of democracy was raised.—( Hear, hear.) It was said that the working classes not being householders were not sufficiently intelligent.—( Hear and a laugh.) But when the taxman came to the householder, did he ask him if he had any brains ?—(A laugh, and a cry of " Yes, in his pocket.") The effect of Household Suffrage would be to enfranchise a great bodye space, in the mueh sseparated agriculturalartfrom each other, and m were scattrconsequently less enlightened than the mechanics in the i,rge towns, who would form a useful counterpoise to the HOusehold Sufrage. Ho believed that no state could ed overo f a people‘v wide a be secure which was not based upon intelligence, probity, moral worth. — ( Hear.) But it was not the fault of the people that they were not enlightened. It was the fault of an oppressive and corrupt Government. It had been urged, in the meeting to-day, that they should be united. That was the cry of the Whigs always, when they wanted to betray the Radicals. They used it at Hull ; and they manoeuvred until Colonel Thompson and Mr. Hutt were thrown out, and two Tories were elected. He was opposed to the Ballot as a measure by itself, and unless it were accompanied by Univer sal Suffrage. Even in the fiction called the " Constitution," the Commons were recognised as well as the Queen and the Lords. But where were the Commons in fact to be found ? Only in the hard-working people of England.—( Hear.) That House at present was powerful for evil, and impotent for Cheers.) It cou ld pass Coercion Bills for Ireland _ Acts as tra ns p orte d t h e D orchester labourers, and it and such a merciless war against their brethren in Ca nada--( Vehement cheering)—but, until the great body ofsthe people were represented it would never effect any good. Mr. Vincent concluded, amidst very great cheering, by calling on the meet i n g to vote for Universal Suffrage. ,fr. BARNES, amidst great interruption, with mingled cheers and laughter, supported the amendment, and expressed himself o pposed to the Ballot. He sa id t h at h e h ad supported Mr. Hall as an in de pendent gentleman, an d w ith out f ee or rewar d . and laughing, t o w hi ch at length Mr. Barnes gave r [Here a tremendou s uproar commenced, with yelling, not until th e Ch airman had put it to the vote whether he sh ould be heard or n o t, an d t h e propos i t i on was neg atived by a large majority- The CitatrimaN then p ut the question on the amend men t (i n favour. o f Universal Suffrage) and then up on th e or i g i na l re solution (H ouseh old Suffrage), wh e n th e f ormer was carried way; but amidst tumultuous applause. A R A TE -PAVER said that he understood that to be a meeting of rate-payers, and person: had voted who were not such.— (Groans and his s ". ) Colonel THOMPSON was received with great applause. He appeared not as a wandering orator, but as a resident householder , Il e had to speak up on a su bj ect , on w hi ch he vhaeta,rd: he e i p ie x aded staves, mounted w i t h t h e fi gure of the Virgin, er intal kn ow l e d ge.

Thus it should b e sa id to t h e Whigs, that although it was very honest to d ec l are t h e i r opinions after the elections were over, but it w ou ld h ave been much more honest if they had done so s i x months before the elections.—(Cheers and tthh parishewould m bb ff el they tlom' Laughter.) If they had done so, in how many of the great tow us would they have succeeded ?—(Cries of " None.) He cautioned the people of England against imitating the people of Byzantium, who were engaged in a dispute about the Trinity, ,when the enemy was at their gates. The people had now " the en emy at t h e i r gates." He believed that they were in imminent danger. In the House of Commons his (Colonel Thompson's) blood was sought by that party which had not dared to call for it, for all his conduct against them since the French revolution in 1830, and who would not dare to make that call now, but that they had a cat's paw Ministry.—(llear, hear. hear.) Nothing was more dangerous than a Ministry which would act as the tool of a party which was screened from all responsibility.— licar• ) The Gallant Colonel at .considerablo length stated his opinions in favour of the Ballot and Universal Suffrage, and concluded by moving the third resolution : " That, for the purpose of having a more efficient and sa lutary controul over the representation of the country, this Meeting a is of opinion that no Parliament should be elected for a longer period than three years." Mr. NELMES seconded the resolution. After Mr, BRAIN and Dr. WEen had addressed the meeting in favour of the resolution, it was carried unanimously. It was also resolved that petitions founded on the resolutions should be presented to both Houses of Parliaoaent—that to the Lords by Lord Brougham, and that to the Commons by the Members for the Borough s and further that the resolutions be published in T 1 $4474, Morning Chronicle, Times—( Dis approlotion), and Morning Advertiser newspapers, tE'hanks were then voted with great applause to Dr. Har rison for his eonclut in the chair.

The Duke of ARGYLE said, that in obedience to her Ma jesty's conanands, he had the honour to lay before their Lord. ships her Mejesty's answer to their Lordships' Address in refer ence to the affairs of Canada :—" My Lords, I thank you for the assurance of 3 our determination to support my efforts for the suppression of the revolt, and the restoration of tranquillity in Lower Canada. I deeply regret the unhappy events that have taken place in that part of my dominions ; and it shall be my earnest endeavour, with your co-operation, to make effectual provision for the restoration of order in that Province, and for the permanent welfare and stability of all classes of its inhabitants. I have observed with the utmost satisfaction the spirit of the loyal and faithful subjects of my North Americen Provinces, and their zealous exertions in support of my authority entitle them to my warmest acknowledgments." Mr. Turner, from the Bank of England, attended at the bar and presented papers. - CANADA. Lord ELLENBORO UGH gave notice that he should to-morrow move for a return of certain accounts with respect to North America, and especially Lower Canada. Amongst others, those returns would embrace charges incurred by the United Kingdom on account of the North American Provinces; the official return of the real value of all articles imported to and exported from those Co lonies and the British dominions ; an account of the trade of the Colonies with all the rest of the world; an account of the tonnage and number of ships a . -.„ 1 men employ:d in those ships trading to those cr:,, h i es an account of the duties upon articles imported this country ; ditto f ro m f o reign countries an ..;) them from account of the revenues arising from taxes in the '.:.otonies, specifying. the amount derived from such tax, a.:..;t whether the t ax h as b een inn iti,o,tsaeldambyoutnhteofPtr...o.iivoissioonl. t P. or Imperial Parli am e nt; a l so t h e Lower Canada, from all the different sources ; rte application of the revenues in the hands of the Crown, and a very distinct specification of the mode in which the Assembly bad disposed of the funds in their hands ; the expenses of the Civil Government ; a copy of the Bill for enabling towns arid parishes to elect local officers sent up to the Parliament of Lower Canada, in 1835 or 1836, but which had not passed into a law ; &c. Lord GLENE LG could not conceive that there could be any objection to the production of any of the papers. NATIONAL EDUCATION. _ _ _ Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the City of Carlisle, in Council assembled, in favour. of National Education. The Noble and Learned Lord said that the prayer of the petition had his most hearty support; and he would take this opportunity of correct ing a mistake which had gone forth on this subject. By the third clause of the Bill which was now on their Lordships' table wait ing for a third reading, it had been most unaccountably supposed that that clause gave to the Educational Board to be appointed by the Act, some.powers of establishing schools without the con sent of the local authorities, whereas the fact was that that clause not only gave no such power, but actually restrained such a power ; and in order that there might be no further pretence for mistake on the subject, it was his intention to alter the words of the clause. CANADA. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that it was his intention to-morrow also to move for a return on this subject in refer ence to Lower Canada. It appeared that the Assembly had voted large sams for education in Canada, but of what had been done in that respect we were ignorant. Lord BROUGHA NI presented a petition from the citizens of Edinburgh agreed to at a public meeting, held on the Bth of January last, calling their Lordships' attention to the situation of their fellow-subjects in Canada, who com plained of grievances sustained by them. The petitioners, amongst other things, adverted to the resolutions which had passed the British House of Parliament, and expressed an unfavourable opinion of them, more especially of the Bth resolution, which was agreed to for the seizure of the public money. Although the retition was agreed to at a a very numerous and highly respectable meeting, yet as it was only signed by the Chairman it could only be received as his petition. The same Learned and Noble Lord presented a petition from Montrose signed by 1,100 or 1,200 persons, in favour of their Lordships taking into consideration the grievances of the inhabitants of Lower Canada. POST OFFICE. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Lei cester, signed by the Mayor and many others of the Corporation of that town, praying for some alteration in the establishment of the Post-office, and for a trial of Mr. Hill's plan. VOTE BY BALLOT. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a parish in Carmarthen, praying for Vote by Ballot. NATIONAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Lord DUNCANNON presented pipers relative to the state of National Edueationin Ireland. EUPHRATES' EXPEDITION. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Ma jesty would be graciously pleased to order that there be laid on the table of the House papers or extracts ofdespatches, or copies of despatches, in reference to the Euphrates expe dition. DUCHESS OF KENT'S ANNUITY BILL. Upo n the motion of Earl SHAFTESBURY ',,ne Report of the Committee, without amendments, on the Duchess of Kent's Annuity Bill was brought up. Their Lordships then adjourned. HO USE OP COMMONS, J.4x. 22. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. The CittstioLm took the oaths and his seat for the county of Inverness. Mr. GROTE presented a petition from Lynn, in Norfolk, signed by 600 persons in favour of the Ballot. Also petitions to the same effect from places in Radnorshire. Mr. MACLEOD presented a petition from the corpora tion of Kincardine, in favour of the plan of post-office reform proposed by Mr. Hill. _ _ Mr. TAN CRE D presented a similar petition from the merchants of Banbury to the tame effect. Sir S. WHALLEY presented a petition from St. Pancras, praying the House to pass measures for the relief of Canadian grievances; also one from the same parish, praying that the name of the Hon. Member for Southwark (Mr. Harvey) might be added to the Committee appointed to inquire into the Pension List. Ile gave notice, that if Sir G. Sinclair did not proceed with the matter, he would on the 30th inst. move that the name of Mr. Harvey be added to the Committee, the ob jection which formerly prevailed being no longer in existence. Mr, NI A ULF. presented a petition from parishes in Carlow, prajing for Corporate Reform in Ireland. Mr. HARVEY presented a petition from Kettering, pray ing the House to rescind the resolutions of last year respect ing Canada. Mr. LEADER presented a number of petitions from West minster and Bristol, deprecating coercive measures respecting Canada. GLASGOW COTTON SPINNERS. Mr. WA KLE Y presented a petition from the Working Men's Asso:_,irition of Bristol, praying the House to address her Majesty for a free pardon for the men lately sentenced to transportation in Edinburgh—and one to the same effect from the Trados Association of London. He gave notice that on Thursday next he would move for a Committee to enquire into the nature and constitution of the Operative Cotton Spinners Association of Glasgow. Mr. DE NNISTOUN presented a petition from the Glas gow Chamber of Commerce, praying for the establishment of a Board for examining all captains of merchant ships; and one against any further endowments to the Scottish Church. If the Ministry granted any further endowment to the Scottish Church they would ruin their popularity in Scotland. (Hear, hear.) The feeling against any further endowment was very strong. Mr. A. YATES presented a petition from a parish in Carlow, praying for the abolition of tithes. was Of the utmost importance that e opportunity of making himself,. ratory to coming to a final deter: They had not as yet been Ole to three hundred Members when the were under discusion. He, therefore, ments be r.-printed. Mr. GLADSTONE—The Hon. Member has assumed that these papers are out of print. Mr. HOME—It is because they are out of print that I make the present motion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had no objection to the reprint ing of those papers, but he would by no means consent that that should be made a ground for delaying the measures which had been brought forward by her Majesty's Government. Let the papers he reprinted, but let not that bo afterwards urgod as aground for delay. Mr. HUME had no intention of making hi* proposition ground for delay. The motion was then agreed to. POOR LAWS, Lord SA NDON moved for certain returns reLtiva the Poor Law Amendment Act.—Agrecd to. APFAIRS OF CANADA. Mr. GROTE having- Leer called on by the SPEAKER, moved that the petition of Jotin Arthur Roebuck, which had been presented by bin on Wednesday evening last. be now read. The petition was then read at length by the Clerk. Sir ROBERT INGLIS wished to call the attention of the House to an omission in the petition, no doubt acciden tally, but nevertheless it was the duty of every Member of that House to sec that the regulations it required were zit-tided to. The House required that in all pmitions it should be stated that it was " the humble pe tition," and that " your petitioner humbly shcweth," neith er of which phrases were in the present petition. Peeaaps:: he Hon. Member for London w'•uld state win ther that omission was accidental or not ? If it were not accidental, 1. ,e should i et it his duty to call the attention of the House more fully to the subject. Mr. GROTE was quite sure that it neves was the iat nation of Mr. Roebuck to show any want of respect to the House, and he felt convinced therefore ',na the omission was entirely accidental. Fur his oan ra'..rt he was not aware till the pre_ sent moment that tha aword " humbly," or the words "'your petitioner humbly,. showeth," were essentially necessary in every petitiea, presented to that House. If his memory did not deceive him, he had, presented several peti tion Which did not contain those words. • The petitioners in chose cases considered that they did their duty to the House if they addressed is in proper language. He was sure it n ever coadd have been th e i n t en ti on o f M r . Roebuck to omit any `cords that were necessary to shew a proper respect to the Hamse. Sir ROBERT INGL IS said that the Honouraole Mem ber for London having stated that the omission was uninten ticnal lie would, perhaps, allow him to obsenre, that the only exception to the rule of the House whicis required the intro duction of the words, was in the: case of a Peer or a Quaker. It was more especially necessary that that t ule should be adhered to in the case of a person who had had the honour of a seat in that Ilouse. If the petition had been that of an ordinary person he should not have noticed it. Mr. GROTE then rose, but was interrupted by Sir R. PE EL, who gave notice, that when the Canada Bill went into Committee, he would move the omission of such parts of the Bill as expressed a recognition that the Convention or Committee, or whatever it was called, was to meet in a representative character, and also of such part as gave her Majesty in Council a power to repeal the Bill. Mr. GROTE proceeded to move that J. A. Roebuck, Esq. he heard at the bar of that House, as the Agent of the Aaaeni bly of Lower Canada against the Canada Bill, on the second reading thereof. From the few words which were spoken in the House when he first brought forward the petition of Mr. Roebuck, he hoped that Hon. Gentlemen, whatever their opinions might be as to the policy of that Bill, •would think it nothing more than justice that the Agent of the Assembly of Lower Canada should have an opportunity of being heal d in their defence. In the preamble of the Bill it was the meeting of the House of Assembly which it would ap pear was to be prevented, and the suspension of the Conssitu tion of Lower Canada in fact signified the suspension of the Assembly, which was the most important part of that Constitution; and when Gentlemen recollected how imperfectly the House was furnished with information upon the affairs of Lower Canada, and how completely that information which they did possess came from one side of tilt question only, they could not but agree that it would be itaps sas sible to conic to a fair and impartial conclusion upon this ss:e:ject without giving full opportunity to those persons wba, repre sent the opinions of the House of Assembly, and were naturally well acquainted with the affairs of Lower Canada, of setting forth their case before the House.---( Hear, hear.) It would also be in the recollection of the House, that the Noble Lord the Member for Stroud, in his speech on Tuesday night, laid as his principle ground for the introduction of so very severe a measure as the pro posed Bill for the temporary Government of Canada the entire want of confidence which ho felt in the House of Assembly ; and the Noble Lord. went through a series of the acts of that House, to demorWirate that they had forfeited all claim to the confidence, no: only of that House, but of the Canadian people. Whe';.her the Noble Lord would he able to lay sufficient eei?,ence before the House to justify that assumption, he_ would not now stop to inquire ; but he must sly, that it was but fairness and justice to the body against whom such vehement accu sations had been . brous;iast, that they should give the agent of that body, roes in England, an opportunity of detending them at the 'tsar of that House.—( Hear, hear.) He did not antie':pate that 'any objection could be made on principle to the motion. ( Hear, hear.) As to the question AS lo what stage of the Bill Mr. Roebuck should be 'heard, he believed that invariable precedent of this; Iles . us e had decided that an agent could only be heard at the bar after the second reading of the Bill to which he objected had. been agreed to. It was not his intention to propose that the house should depart from the custom that had hertofore been pursued in such cases, and lie therefore proposed that Mr. Roebuck be heard after the second reading had been agreed to. Inasmuch, however, as he, in common with other gentlemen in that House, objected to the principle of this Bill, and as he mould be sorry that it should be supposed that by proposing this course lie acquiesced in it, lie wished to state that he did so to meet the convenience of the Honse. He therefore proposed that the second reading of the Bill should be formally agreed to, and that the discussion upon it should take place on the subsequent question that the Bill be committed. He thought that. this course would both con duce to the convenience of the House and to the object which lie had in view. He was ips'ite sure that if the House decided on the principle of the Bill without bearing the state ments which Mr. Roebuck had to lay before them, they would be guilty of an inadvertence, in deciding without that evidence which was most material to its due con sideration. Ile would not, therefore, detain the House far ther than to move that John Arthur Roebuck be heard at the bar of that House on the second reading of the Bill. Mr. GL A DSTONE thought it would be desirable to hear the Hon. Gentleman on this Bill; at the same time he felt it his duty to protest against any motion passing the House which should recognize Mr. Roebuck as the agent of the House of Assembly. Mr. Limburn's case in 1793 had been referred to. It appeared to him (Mi. G.) that that case differed materially from the present on two grounds. The first was, that Mi'. Limburn represented the whole Province. There was no division and no dissension.—( Hear, hear.) The second point of difference was more important. Mr. Limburn was deputed by the community, or a largo portion of the com munity of Canada, and he was deputed for that very case ; but in the present instance Mr. J. A. Roebuck was not so deputed, and lie came here pleading the general title of agency, out of which he deduced his claim to act on the behalf of his constituents, and appeared at the bar of this House. He ( Mr. G.) was not aware of any constitutional right of appointing agents with general powers of' that description.—( H ear , hear, hear. ) Ho was certain the practice would lead to interminable contu sion. If they allowed the House of Assembly the power of appointing such agents, they could not refuse the power to the Legislative Councils. He would not now inquire whether that was a good system of Government or a bad one, but it was essentially different from that under which our colonies ex isted. —( Hear, hear.) As regarded the inconvenience, the question was how to avoid it, and to him it was a most serious question. There was nothing he should so much regret as to reject the prayer of the petition. It was most desirable the House should hear what Mr. Roe buck had to say.—(l fear, hear.) They had all listened to him on former occasions, and had profited much by his accurate knowledge of the colony. He would also observe that Mr. Roebuck possessed the confidence of the House of Assembly. He was qualified as a member of the bar to be employed by the House of Assembly, and tlaara was a strong case of equity that he should be ] ;card. The House of Assembly, he would not deny, had a right to appoint an agent for a particular purpose, but wheat he recol lected the course t a k en by th a t H ouse recently., tie objected to their agent being recognised by the House, of Commons, Considering the course that had been tak e n un former oceas sions upon the Municipal Corporatism, Bill, when the parties had been heard by their agents at the bar of the H011.9e of Lords—considering that there were many other precedents upon the records of the Holiest for such a course, lie could not bring himself, whatever the amount of difficulty might be created—he could not briag himself to reject the prayer of the petition.--( Hear, hear. ) But when he considered the incapacity of the House of Assembly to appoint an spent, he confessed that it appeared to him better to leave out the words in the motion authorizing Mr. Roebuck to act as its agent. He did not say that the course he was aboutto propose was not open to objection, but nothing would induce hint to recognise Mr. Roebuck in that capacity. Such a proposition, •in his opinion, lead to every sort of anomaly in practice and, difficulty in conducting the business of that Hour^ Lord JOHN RUSSELL was glad the subject lied ksee ll brought before the House, in order that they mighn, fully toe . sider the position in which they were placed. g l a d the Hon.

Russell) entertain that they ought not to allow objections of a mere]: j, f ormal nature to prevent their hearing Mr. Roebuck. He would say that if the present Bit! partially affected tlia interests of Lower' Canada—if the intes. rests of that ".evince wer e on ly incid en t a lly a ff ecte d , i t 'night be prone!: to take that point of form, and consider whether they As sl ht to hear Mr, Roebuck in the character of agent. --( Hear. hear.) Rut upon the present occasion he was rather disposed to hook at the position in which Mr, Roebuck hail for acme time stood. Mr. Roebuck stated that having the resolution of the Ilouse of Assembly, authorising, him too cat as its agent, he sought permission to address them in that capacity. Ile had nevea been recognised as their agent, but had bets cccasieually received at the Colonial Office as thes CANADA. Sir W. MOL E SWO RTH presented three petitions against any coercive measures being adopted with regard to Canada, but the Hon. Baronet did not state from whence they came. IRISH POOR LAWS. Lord CLEMENTS moved for a certain return relating to Poor Laws in Ireland, to which he had obtained the assent of the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland.—Agreed to. CANADA. Mr. HUME presented a petition, agreed to at a public meeting in Edinburgh, on the subject of Canadian grievances. The petitioners stated that they n e ither vindi ca ted the Co lonists in their insurrection nor the measures of Government that led to that result ; but that they were impressed with the conviction, that neither the precepts of religion nor the true interests of humanity required that the war should be further prosecuted ; and also, that if the colonists could not be governed by the mother country by their own consent, a peaceful separation ought, as soon as possible, to he effected. The petitioners further stated that the rights of the House of Assembly were based upon a controul over monetary measures, and that the resolutions of last year took away those rights, and thus the present unhappy events have occurred. The petitioners concluded by praying the House to take the matter into consideration by an address to, her Majesty, that steps might be taken to prevent the further effusion of blood. Mr. GILLON stated that he had presidt , d at the meeting from which the petition emanated, and that he could bear tes timony to the respectability of the meeting. Mr. HUME wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Secretar: f or the "Home Department, whether he had any objec,tiyp to reprinting certain documents relating to ca t nAglia, as a number of Hon.
